Men only?

Starette wrote: Take this piece of wisdom from a feminine, anti-feminist, independant, Prog-loving lady... By the way- I'm not really 'anti-feminist' as I stated at the start of this post but hardcore feminists, especially here in NZ, DO piss me off quite a bit. Women deserve their rights- sure- but they don't need to crucify men (so to speak). Women are complex beings- men....simple.

Are you single?

Hmmm...I get that response from women a lot...the poo-throwing that is.

I'm much too busy to read entire posts, especially long ones such as yours.  I just focused on a few words and thought I'd give it a try.  I'm always looking to expand my harem.  Hey I like em around 19-22 anyway.  Legal, but not too old to be obnoxious and ugly. 

I wish I was a lesbian, and not a hetero.
I wouldn't have to deal with men and all their come and go,
And all their yucky yucky facial hair and all their machis'mo!
I wish I were a lesbian and not a hetero!
I wish I was a lesbian and that I wasn't straight.
I'd sleep with women only. Man, it would be great.
I'd throw away my diaphragm, I wouldn't want to mate.
I wish I was a lesbian, and that I wasn't straight!
I wish I were a lesbian, I'd like to be a dyke.
I'd sleep with k.d. lang. Mel Gibson, take a hike!
I think it would be nice to love someone who was alike.
I wish I was a lesbian, I'd like to be a dyke!
I wish I was a lesbian, that's why this song is sung.
It shouldn't really matter how somebody is hung.
Other things are more important- like how you use your tongue!
I wish I was a lesbian, that's why this song is sung!
I DARE Casey Kasem to play this!
I wish I was a lesbian, and not a hetero.
I wouldn't have to deal with men and all their come and go,
And all their yucky facial hair and all their machis'mo
(I hate that machis'mo!)
I wish I was a lesbian and not a hetero!

There is a lot of woman who likes prog, but maybe not in your generation.

My wife is not included

Funny you say that...my ex LOVES Bon Jovi. Mind you- this is my ex who also said 'that's so gay' when I tried to introduce him to Prog Rock.

Oh the Irony!!!

Yeah, that must be it

I've been accused many times of liking 'guy music.' Whatever that means.
I always thought it had more to do with me being nuts.

Yeah, and they dont mind my cape 'n' heels. They're all Hobbits so they're not going to lecture me on fashion or good taste. Not with feet like theirs!

Hip Hop Hobbits! Can you imagine it..??

I know I know- sad but true but there ARE prog-loving women out there okay?? WE DO EXIST...okay??!!! Don't deny us! The evil truth of this thread is killing me... *gets desperate, bangs head again'st wall in fustration and decides to calm herself down by listening to Marillion* Alright! Easy now....  You've got to STOP doing that young lady!.......... What? Banging your head against the wall? Nah...... what I meant was pretty much serious than that: Stop listening to a Genesis-copycat band like Marillion!!!!! OK, sorry for that. Sometimes I'm evil. But seriously, it's nice to see a prog-gurl in the forums, they're becoming extinct, you know?

Grr- I know. But the ones who remain have a lot of charisma...and I'm not talking about me- I;m talking about Valravennz, Bald Jean and Threefates...and others  As for Marillion?...meh...it's the latest cd my bfs given me (i get all my prog from him...lol) and I thought I may as well give it a try. So far- it's merely OKAY. And yeah- he DOES sound kinda like Peter Gabriel, doesn't he!

As for them being mysoginist? Pfft- I couldn't care less! If the art's good- I love it regardless of any gender-issues behind it. Eg: theres a lot of Riffraff about The Wind in the Willows (that I'm currently reading for a childrens-lit paper at uni) being male-dominated and I DON'T CARE! I love TWITW!

So long as my boyfriend isn't being a chauvinist-prick (like my Dad pretends to be) them I'm fine with the world. I like to put my boyfriends in their place  (BUAhahaha!)

Alrighty then. I can definitely see from what I've read so far in this forum, that the prog-girls that remain have charisma as well as a strong personality, good for them.

I actually think is cool if you don't give a f**k and listen to Marillion (if that's what you like), just be yourself and don't give a s**t, and if some ppl (like the ones you've mentioned) need to be put in their respective places, you might as well do it, "proggy-girl".
